Friday night, Livia, Girard, Guenievre, and I vanned up to Stierbach for the Coronation of their new Majesties Atlantia, Vlad and Kalysa (So when you get asked who you fight for, remember this, for the next six months at least).

Ed.’s note: After half a year’s worth of these, I’m starting to tap the bottom of my well. Feedback from readers as to what might be worth discussing is quite welcome at this point.
